General Binding Tips and Failsafe BNF

• The included receiver has been specically programmed for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.

• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.

• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.

• The orange LED on the receiver will ash rapidly when the receiver enters bind mode.

• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind.

• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.

• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support ofce.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enabling and Disabling SAFE Select BNF

The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of ight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and automatic self leveling. AS3X+ mode provides the pilot with a direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process. With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a switch to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes. Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be congured for full-time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a switch.

IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is properly programmed for this aircraft.

IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter ight controls (rudder, elevators, and ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and during binding.

This process denes the failsafe settings. You can use either the bind button on the receiver case or the conventional bind plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process. SAFE Select can also be activated via Forward Programming in compatible transmitters.

Control Surface Centering

After assembly and transmitter setup, conrm that the control surfaces are centered. The model must be powered up, bound to the transmitter in AS3X+ mode, with the throttle left at zero. When enabled, SAFE mode is active at power up. AS3X+ mode is activated when the throttle is raised above 25% for the rst time after being powered on. It is normal for the control surfaces to respond to aircraft movement if the aircraft is in AS3X+ or SAFE modes.

1. Verify the trims and subtrims on your transmitter are zero

2. Power the model in AS3X+ mode and leave the throttle at zero

3. Look at the tip of each control surface and verify it is mechanically centered.

4. If adjustment is required, turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.

Center of Gravity (CG)

The Center of Gravity (CG) location is measured from the leading edge of the top wing. The CG will be affected by battery changes. Always verify the CG is within the recommended range (67-77mm) before ight. Check CG with model upright.

CAUTION: Install the battery but do not arm the ESC while checking the CG. Personal injury may result.

72mm +/-5mm

SAFE® Select Switch Designation BNF

Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to y in SAFE mode full-time, or assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your transmitter.

TIP: If model has a reversing ESC feature, Aux2 is not available for safe select.

If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.

IMPORTANT: To be able to assign a switch, rst verify:

• The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.

• Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between 5 and 9 (Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.

• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal, not reverse.

• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual rates are in use, the switches need to be in the 100% position.

See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.

TIP: If a SAFE Select switch is desired for your 6 function aircraft, and you are using a 6 channel transmitter, the SAFE Select switch channel will have to be shared with either channel 5 or 6 of the transmitter. This does not apply to the NX6. Please refer to your NX6 instruction manual for further details.

Assigning a Switch

1. Power on the transmitter.

2. Power on the aircraft.

3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners, and toggle the desired switch 5 times quickly (1 toggle = full up and down).

4. The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been selected.

During your rst ight, trim the aircraft for level ight at 3/4 throttle. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to straighten the aircraft’s ight path.

After adjusting trim do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X+ performance.

Failure to do so could affect ight performance.

Flying Tips and Repairs

3 Seconds

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a ying location.

Flying Field

Always choose a wide-open space for ying your aircraft. It is recommended that you y at a designated RC ying eld. Always avoid ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. Avoid ying in areas where there are many people, such as parks, schoolyards, or soccer elds.

Range Check your Radio System

Before you y, range check the radio system. Refer to your specic transmitter instruction manual for range test information.

Understanding Oscillation

Once the AS3X+ system is active (after advancing the throttle for the rst time), you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. In some ight conditions, you will see oscillation. If oscillation occurs, decrease airspeed. If oscillation persists, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Takeoff

Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind). Set your transmitter in low rate and gradually increase the throttle from ¾ to full and steer with the rudder. As the airplane gains speed, gently pull back on the elevator and climb to a comfortable altitude.

Flying

Fly the airplane and trim it for level ight at ¾ throttle. After adjusting trim in ight do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X+ performance.

Landing

Make sure to land the aircraft into the wind. Start to slow the model down to an approach speed. Fly the aircraft to approximately 36 inches (90 cm) or less above the runway, using a small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to are. During are, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft down on its wheels.

NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.

NOTICE: After any impact, always ensure the receiver is secure in the fuselage. If you replace the receiver, install the new receiver in the same orientation as the original receiver or damage may result.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty. NOTICE: When you are nished ying, never leave the airplane in direct sunlight

or a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The ESC protects the ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some battery power is reserved for ight control and safe landing.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.

NOTICE: Repeated ying to LVC will damage the battery. TIP: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after ying by using a

Smart LiPo Battery Checker and Servo Driver (SPMXBC100, sold separately).

Repairs

Thanks to the EPO foam material in this aircraft, repairs to the foam can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy, etc). When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number. For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the end of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of CA accelerator on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft until accelerator fully dries.

Post Flight Checklist

Disconnect the ight battery from the ESC Power OFF the transmitter Remove the ight battery from the aircraft Recharge the ight battery

Repair or replace all damaged parts Store the ight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge Make note of the ight conditions and ight plan results, planning for future ights

Receiver Installation (PNP)

The Spektrum AR631+ receiver is recommended for this airplane. If you choose to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions.

IMPORTANT: A Smart compatible Spektrum receiver is required for thrust reversing, and telemetry information from the ESC.

Installation (AR631+ shown)

1. Mount the receiver parallel to the length of the fuselage as shown. Use double-sided servo tape.

CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash.

2. Attach the appropriate control surfaces to the their respective ports on the receiver using the chart in the illustration.

Active portion of antenna

AR631+ Port Assignments

Bind/Prog/SRXL2 = BIND 1 = Throttle 2 = Ailerons 3 = Elevator

4 = Rudder 5 = NA 6 = NA

Thrust Reversing (Optional)

The Avian™ Smart ESC in this aircraft is equipped with thrust reversing, but it must be enabled before it will function. Reversing the motor can be helpful when taxiing, or for shortening the ground roll after landing. Activating the designated switch reverses motor rotation, throttle will still control motor speed.

CAUTION: Never attempt to use thrust reversing in ight. Applying reverse thrust while in ight will result in loss of control and possibly a crash.

Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT: Thrust reversing requires a Spektrum receiver with Smart Throttle and a Spektrum transmitter with a minimum of 7 channels. The Avian ESC is backwards compatible with conventional receivers (PWM output signal) for normal operation, but reversing functions are only available with Smart Throttle technology.

Thrust Reversing Setup

Transmitter

On the transmitter, select an open channel (not already in use), and assign it to an open switch, or button. Use different channels for thrust reversing and SAFE Select. Motor reversing is assigned to Aux 2/Channel 7, by default, in the Smart ESC. If SAFE Select and the ESC are assigned to the same channel, the motor will reverse in ight.

CAUTION: Do not assign thrust reversing and SAFE Select to the same channel. Doing so will reverse the motor when SAFE Select is enabled

during ight, resulting in a crash.

ESC

Set up the transmitter according to the setup chart, and bind your transmitter to the airplane. The airplane must be powered on and bound to the transmitter to access the Smart ESC programming.

As an alternative, it is possible to program the ESC with the Smart ESC Programming Box (SPMXCA200, not included).

IMPORTANT: Do not power the motor on before attempting to enter ESC programming, the programming menu is locked once the motor is powered on. If you need to enter ESC programming after the motor has been powered, you must power cycle by disconnecting the battery and plugging it in again.

ESC Reversing Setup

1. Begin with the transmitter bound to the receiver.

2. Power ON the transmitter.

3. Set switch H (throttle cut) to prevent accidental motor operation.

4. Set elevator and aileron to high rate.

5. Set Flight Mode to AS3X+ (The menu will not open if the Flight Mode is set to SAFE).

6. Power ON the aircraft. A signal bar appears on the transmitter main screen when the telemetry information is being received.

7. From the main screen navigate to the last screen past the

DX series, NX series, iX series

telemetry screens, the Avian Programming menu (Avian Prog).

8. All conguration in the Avian Programming menu is done by moving the elevator and aileron stick. Follow the on-screen prompts to access the menu. Move the stick up or down to move the cursor, left or right to select a value or return to the cursor, and up or down to change a value when it is selected.

9. Set BRAKE TYPE: Reverse

10. Set BRAKE FORCE: 7

11. Set THRUST REV: Select the channel you designated for thrust reversing in your transmitter. CH7 is the selection by default, but do not use this default option if you are using Aux2/Ch7 for SAFE Select.

12. Select EXIT W/ SAVE to save your selections

Page 18

Motor Service

CAUTION: Always disconnect the ight battery before performing motor

service.

Disassembly

1. Remove the propeller nut with a 10mm wrench. Remove the washer and propeller from the motor shaft.

2. Remove the three screws from the front of the cowling and remove the cowl from the fuselage.

3. Remove the four 3 x 16mm screws and the motor with X-mount from the fuselage.

4. Disconnect the motor wires from the ESC wires.

5. Remove the four 3 x 6mm Phillips X-mount.

Assembly

• Fassen Sie bitte unmittelbar nach dem Betrieb nicht den Motor, Regler oder Akku an, da diese Teile sich sehr erwärmen können und Sie sich bei dem berühren ernsthaft verbrennen können.

• Fassen Sie nicht in drehende oder sich bewegende Teile, da sich sich ernsthaft dabei verletzen können.

• Schalten Sie immer zuerst den Sender ein, bevor Sie den Empfänger im Fahrzeug einschalten.

• Stellen Sie das Fahrzeug mit den Rädern nicht auf den Boden, wenn Sie die Funktionen überprüfen.
